Sid Haig (born 14 July 1939; age 72) is a California-born character actor who played the First Lawgiver in the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "The Return of the Archons". Including his Trek role, Haig has appeared in over 350 episodes of various television shows and over fifty films, beginning with the short film The Host in 1960.

Haig was born as Sidney Eddie Mosesian in Fresno, California, and is of Armenian descent.

Fans of the James Bond films may remember him as the man who, in Diamonds are Forever, upon learning Bond was escorting his brother to be buried, remarked "I got a brother!" The film also featured Marc Lawrence and Dick Crockett. Haig also appeared twice (as separate characters) in the science fiction series Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, where he played alongside Michael Ansara, Julie Newmar, Barbara Luna, David Opatoshu and Felix Silla. Haig is probably best known for his roles in numerous B-movies and exploitation films, mostly horrors, since the 1960s.
